GPS And Skype On The Moon Under Development Says European Space Agency
GPS & SKYPE ON THE MOON – Long distance relationships are hard, especially when you’re on the moon?
Luckily, the European Space Agency (ESA) announced the development of technology to make that possible. Based on an article from Unilad, the ESA is creating satellites that provides GPS navigation and communication for Lunar missions.
However, this technology might not be available until the next decade. Currently, several countries, including private space companies are on another moon race. Meanwhile, the ESA stated that creating a satellite infrastructure would be a key step in toward creating a “viable lunar economy”.
Furthermore, the agency called this so called “moon economy” the “Eight Continent”. As per the article, the ESA said:
Having a navigation and telecommunication network to relay what we learn on the moon back to Earth will be key for sustainability of future missions.
You can imagine astronomers setting up observatories on the far side of the moon. And as we have all now become accustomed to virtual meetings, who knows? We could be doing Skype on the moon.
